Pros: Its all good
Cons: None
Cons: None
This is a fantastic bird for your back yard coop. Great Egger, Doesnt mind the cold weather at all. Mine are the most docile of all the birds I have. They are in the middle of the pecking order even though they are larger then most of the other types I have. They are silly to watch since the feathers on their legs make them look like they have a funny gate when they run. They free range well and always come back to the coop at night. Quiet bird and a good choice for in town if you have close neighbors.

A wonderful breed for a back yard flock! I had a Light Brahma that followed me like a puppy. Good layers of big brown eggs. Occasionally broody, they are good mothers.
Article: Brahma
Breed Details: I started breeding the standard Light Brahmas in spring of 2008. The Brahmas are a very friendly, docile breed. Neither one of my roosters have ever been aggressive with me. The hens are good layers of large brown eggs. So far, the Brahma chicks have been very easy to hatch, brood, and raise. This breed does very well in cold and hot weather. At around 7 weeks of age you can start to guess the genders of the chicks. At around 12 or so weeks of age you should know for sure the sexes of your chicks. The hens usually start laying around 5 months of age. My hens usually lay every other day. |
